- FRIGHT ELEVATOR 2
Hi Rez Designs has built a reputation for delivering high-impact, cinematic-quality projection effects that elevate any Halloween setup—from home haunts to professional attractions. Their library of digital scares blends classic horror with cutting-edge visuals, allowing haunters to create immersive environments without the need for complex equipment or editing software. Whether you're projecting onto windows, doors, or custom props, their effects are designed to drop jaws and raise heart rates.
What truly sets Hi Rez Designs apart is the versatility and expandability of their products. Most effects can be used as looping visuals or activated by trigger, and many are optimized for integration with the Hi Rez Relay Decoder—a device that lets you sync the on-screen scare with real-world elements like fog machines, strobes, air cannons, or even animatronics. The result? Hollywood-level horror effects at a fraction of the cost and effort.
Underground Apocalypse Ride That Sets the Stage for Your Entire Haunt
Building on the success of their #1 best-seller, Fright Elevator 2: Fallout Shelter drops your guests straight into chaos—literally. This immersive elevator ride simulation transports viewers down into a bunker beneath a crumbling, apocalyptic world. Along the way, they’re nearly incinerated by fireballs, shaken by cave-ins, electrocuted by shorted wiring, and scalded by a steam burst… only to be greeted by a horde of zombies (or a more neutral ending if preferred). It’s an unforgettable start to any haunt.
This isn’t just a visual effect—it’s a complete illusion of movement, crafted to create the sensation of descending deep below the surface. The genius lies in its simplicity: no motion platform required. Just set up a room with large LCD screens on one or both side walls, load up one of the included video sequences (1:20, 55 sec, or 35 sec), and watch your guests instinctively feel like they’re moving. Add synced effects like fog, lights, or air blasts via the Hi-Rez Relay Decoder, and the immersion reaches theme-park levels.
What We Love:
🚧 Immersive Pre-Show That Sets the Tone
Using this as an entry experience gives your entire haunt or attraction a strong narrative start. Guests genuinely feel like they’re being transported, which makes everything that follows more believable.
🧟♂️ Optional Zombie Ending
Not every haunt wants the undead—thankfully, Hi Rez includes both zombie and non-zombie endings, so you’re not locked into one theme. This flexibility makes the product work for dystopian, sci-fi, fallout, or industrial horror themes.
🎛️ Includes Control Panel & Decoder Signals
You’ll also receive small screen control panel videos for added realism. Combined with the encoded Hi-Rez Relay Decoder signals, this makes it easy to sync lights, fog, and air blasts right when things go haywire in the elevator.
Use Case Ideas:
- Haunt Entry Room: Use as the first “ride” of your attraction. Set up a faux elevator shaft with LCDs on both sides, dark walls, and exit doors that lead into your main maze.
- Escape Room Intro: Start your bunker or containment-themed escape room with this illusion to explain how players got underground.
- Pop-Up Haunt Transition: Use this effect to transport guests between scenes in a multi-room haunt or between different stories.
- Con Haunt or Trailer Setup: Since it doesn’t require mechanical parts, this effect is perfect for convention booths or mobile haunts that need fast, high-impact immersion.
Final Verdict:
Fright Elevator 2: Fallout Shelter is a masterclass in practical illusion. It’s easy to install, requires no moving parts, and creates a massive payoff in terms of immersion and guest engagement. With adjustable timing, multiple endings, and interactivity through the Hi-Rez Relay Decoder, it’s one of the most versatile scene-setters Hi Rez Designs has released—and it could easily become the most memorable part of your haunt.
